I feel like I scored the best camp spot in the area for the busy Labor Day weekend. Communication and check-in were great! Upon arrival, Jim and Nick helped me set up my site with the firepit and bug-proofed my tent. Jim and his family also gave me a sweet card, a map, some hiking poles (which were a lifesaver in the Narrows) and some snacks for my hikes. I was traveling alone with my 8 year old and we felt very comfortable, safe and welcomed! The location is close to the resort which has a nice pool and friendly staff. I also love how close it is to the national park but far enough for privacy from the holiday crowds. Thank you again! I look forward to coming back.

This was a very nice place to camp out. I had a lovely view of the stars and great conversation with Jim and his family.

Our A-Frame is a labor of our love and was built as such. A getaway to relax, hike and enjoy. Our place is a quiet, rustic, rural and completely off the grid in nature. It borders Zion National Park and is only 140 feet from the Zion East Rim Trailhead. Stargazing is stellar! You’ll love our place because of the location, the views, the ambiance, and the true outdoors space and memories. We bring the outdoors in and the indoors outside. Our place is good for couples, solo adventurers, and friends.

The Space
Upon arrival, you will park your car along the dirt road in one of the pull-offs and you will follow a wood chip and solar lit (at night) trail down a small ravine across a bridge with a seasonal stream and up another small ravine (about 150 feet in total) that is lined with beautiful Ponderosa Pines. On your left are the wildflower meadow and two lounge chairs to watch the stars from with no trees blocking the view. The view is 180 degree of stars at night. You can watch shooting stars and the International Space Station pass overhead when in view as well as explore the stars with the telescope. As you follow the trail and come to the top of the hill you will see the hammock to the left and the closed A-frame. Past the hammock is a bench and just past there is a small trail to an open area where there are Horseshoes and a Giant Jenga that can be played and an Adirondack loveseat. Proceed to the right side and you will put in your code to the keyless door lock. From there you can open the A-frame and have an inside/outside room.
Upon entering, you will notice that the natural sunlight is reflecting from the convertible wall and four other windows. Natural sunlight is everywhere. On the white storage cubes, you will find a guestbook on the information of all aspects of the A-frame, the bathroom, the BBQ area, and property. There is additional information about the surrounding area as well. There is a second book that has different hikes you can take from our East Rim Trailhead and other popular hikes. Each one of the hikes has a map and a copy you can take with you in a sleeve within the book. There are also some water bottles and local candy/snacks in the basket for you. We also offer pint-sized mason jars of steel cut or rolled oatmeal with various organic dried fruits (trader joes) and small jars of “fixings” for the morning time. All you do is add the water for a nice, warm, filling organic oatmeal breakfast. Games, coloring, and cards are located in the cube and there is minimalist storage for your items as well as a luggage rack to keep the area clutter free for you.
If you open up the A-frame wall or go out the door across the patio and look in the Yukon ice chest you will see a block of ice and some Smore’s fixings in a mason jar. If you are Vegan or Vegetarian, and do not eat marshmallows let me know in advance and I will make some homemade Vegan Marshmallows or leave a banana to roast. If you explore the BBQ Bar you will find plates, cups, utensils, and everything you may need to fix any meal.
One of the greatest elements of this property is that it allows you to experience what off –grid living can be like with only minimal sacrifice. It has a solar system in place for the A-frame with an electrical outlet and a separate solar unit for the bathroom toilet. The natural light and convertible wall allows light to pour in and out and can sleep with wall open or shut. The water is from the local well, all water that is used is integrated to water the plants and trees. The special composting toilet from Sweden allows for no waste of water and no smell or mess of a regular composting toilet.
We spent 5 months designing and building this A-frame to make it a home away from home and a small piece of paradise away from our busy lives. Our goal was to make a place of peace, relaxation, and bliss where our memories could harvest new experiences. We wanted a place to be in nature as much as possible and where hiking was outside our door; in which now we are sharing with you.
Now, stop and relax and breathe because this is what memories and vacations are about, not about the hustle and bustle of normal life. Sit in an Adirondack chair or patio chair that overlooks the ravine and wildflower meadow. If it tickles your fancy, relax and unwind in the hammock. Listen to the birds and wind rustle the trees. What you do on your vacation next is up to you.
PLEASE READ ALL ITEMS BEFORE BOOKING! Read the entire section before making the reservation. So there are no surprises.
You are in the Alpine wilderness and therefore you must have respect for it and be aware of a few items.
*Ravine: You park on the alcove on the dirt road or at the National Park parking and walk 150 feet or so down and back up a ravine. So if you have a lot of heavy items it will give you a workout. Trust me, we had to lug everything from wood beams to towels and it is tiring after a lot of trips.
*Altitude/weather: you are at around 6,500 feet in elevation. If you have any heart problems and/or coming from sea level, you will notice a difference. The weather is also 9 to 13 degrees cooler than Zion National Park. Utah and Zion weather are unpredictable so bring warm and cool clothes. Layering is a must here if hiking. In the late summer/fall, there may be intermittent afternoon showers that last an hour or so. I love the afternoon showers because it gives me time to relax and enjoy under the canopy of the convertible wall. It is all about perspective.
*Water: The running water is unfiltered well water, so drink at your own risk. We provide you with several bottles of drinking water and a jug of drinking water.
*Electricity: Solar Power is generated by sunlight and is stored in batteries. There is limited battery capacity that depends on the weather. If you leave lights on or the fan on, it can drain the batteries faster so be thoughtful when using the electricity. We have remote lights for the night as well as huge battery operated candles for evening ambiance. During the day the windows provide plenty of natural daylight.
*Critters: You are in the wilderness. There are a lot of alpine critters on our property including squirrels, foxes, bats, Mexican Spotted Owls, California Condors, Peregrine Falcons, Bald Eagles, ravens, eagles, deer, turkeys, bunnies, coyotes, cougars (the cougar is not in area presently and not presenting any danger) and Rams have been seen on the East Rim Trail and 15 feet from the property. Additionally, Black Bear do live in the area but are very rare and usually come down only in the wintertime. So ...use caution and enjoy the alpine animals from a distance. Additionally, Rattlesnakes can be present in Southern Utah, especially in the summer (they like the alpine cooler weather). Please use caution if you see one and DO NOT bother it.
*Bugs: You are in the wilderness and border two sides of the national park: there are lots of bugs that fly and crawl. There are spiders, moths, ants of all varieties, beetles, stump wasps, mosquitoes, black flies and horse flies. In Zion, I have heard of tarantulas and scorpions in some desert areas in the floor of the Zion Park (not usually in the alpine area). We have Honest natural bug spray at A-frame but it never hurts to bring your own. We also have citronella torches and sticks for mosquitoes but know that you are in nature at a remote location and therefore in a bug’s territory. There is not a large presence and me usually only notice a few at dusk. Bugs will be there regardless and most of the time not bothersome but know you will see some especially in a cabin that has a convertible wall.
*Noises: During the day or night you might hear the birds, coyotes, turkeys, squirrels, deer walking around or other critters going about their daily life. The road is 150 feet away but hardly any traffic due to the trailhead not being well known. People and the ranch rent ATV’s so you can hear them if they come down the road. It can be very quiet or can sound like a melody when the wind blows through the leaves or the ratty tat of the rain hitting the metal roof. It is all the beautiful noise and pieces that make this place so unique.
*Convertible Wall: Presently we have gas spring mounted brackets to help and defer the differential of weight with the lifting and lowering of the wall. It is not hard but awkward. There is additional brace if needed to hold the wall up for the person holding the wall also and can leave for your use if needed. We thought about putting in a pulley system but it would cut into the view so we went with awkward for now.
-With two people:
*To open: you lift the wall from closed to open by pushing and lifting on integrity frame and once open, one person holds open the wall and one unlocks orange legs and places them vertically
*To close: you reverse. So one person holds the wall up while the other lowers the legs and secures the lock. Then with the gas spring bracket you slowly lower.
-For single guests(URL HIDDEN)*We have a system to safely and slowly lower/raise the wall solo and can help if needed. We will send you specific instructions and ask if help is needed.
Everything listed above is what makes the A-frame so unique and amazingly different from other places. It is all about perspective and what experience you want to take out of it, hopefully, the above-listed items will enhance your stay and enjoyment.
Here is what else is included in the property during your stay:
¬Toilet: Outside structure: The property has a Biolet composting toilet (Lexus of composting toilets) The BioLet 25 is the world's first fully automatic composting toilet. In our quest to provide our customers with a toilet that is as convenient to use and operate as a flush toilet, a fully automatic mixing system has been added to the quiet fan and thermostatically controlled heaters. NO Mess and NO SMELL.
¬Shower: Outside structure with the inside/outside door. So you can take a shower inside or open the sliding barn door to shower outside with a secluded nature view. Propane on demand, low volume water shower with Cruelty-Free Shampoo, Conditioner and Soap provided.
¬Wash Basin to wash hands with water and soap and towels provided.
¬Linens and Towels included. Extra blanket and throws are in A frame to make it cozy for you.
¬Fan and Heater. Since the A-frame is convertible and open to nature, we provide a fan to cool and a Big Buddy propane heater for heat.
¬Propane BBQ and Volcano wood/charcoal stove provided. For ease of cooking with a choice of how to prepare food.
¬Plates, cups, utensils: Biodegradable Paper plates, bowls and glass products provided.
¬Breakfast: My favorite modest breakfast starter of steel cut organic or organic rolled oatmeal and fruits with “fixings." I just like it because you boil the water, let steep for 15-20 minutes and eat. Easy, delicious and nutritious for the early hikers. I am not listing a full breakfast because it is not a big enough meal for all, but for me it is divine.

¬Cooking tools: Pots and skillets, plastic thick silverware, knives and cutting board, french press and coffee and tea provided. All soap, dish soap, and dish towels provided.
¬Yukon Igloo cooler provided for maximum chilling of foods (you provide ice block to keep it cold), small ice/beverage cooler provided for constant in and out for drinks (you provide ice)
¬Margaritaville Explorer Cordless Frozen Concoction Maker by Margaritaville: Our secret indulgence: Jimmy Buffet Margaritaville Battery operated margarita/daiquiri blender Provided. (you provide ice and beverages) Makes amazing Margaritas! Very Chill and relaxing to have an excellent margarita in nature! Where else offers you a perfect margarita in nature? It is my secret pleasure at dusk- but anytime is nice-- it is 5 o'clock somewhere!
¬Herb Container: Herbs can be cut fresh and put into meals.
¬Tiki torches and citronella oils provided (4 of them with bases). There are fairy lights and solar lights illuminating the main path.
¬Fire pit and firewood provided. Please keep fires moderate or mild in size due to forest fire risk! Fire screen and fire sticks for marshmallow or bananas (vegetarian/vegan way to make smores) provided.
¬Camp furniture: Adirondack chairs, bistro dining set, and small table provided. 2 camp chairs to have by fire are provided.
¬Stargazing: telescope and lounge chairs in the meadow
¬Games: Board and card games provided as well as coloring and colored pencils (fun for relaxation).
-Horseshoes and Giant Jenga playing area: with Adirondack Bench
¬Books on local hikes and Zion provided for use. Reading books are provided as well as magazines.
¬Water: A few gallons of spring drinking water provided until ultraviolet water filtration system is installed. Please provide your own Nalgene or bottles for hiking. Cups provided but nothing suitable for hiking. The spring water comes from the Canyon Springs and Zion Ponderosa Ranch who provides the water, does not use a filter system for their guests and deems it as potable water. I like filtering all water, so I will not describe the water as potable until it is multi-filtered.
¬Solar power is provided to A-frame but we like the battery operated Candles for ambiance.
¬Entry: Keyless Door lock provides security on the front door. We change with every guest for the security of our guests.
¬Cart: to bring items from car to A-frame. It is a heavier cart, for the terrain.
We are working on having dogs on the property, so inquire if you have an animal you want to bring. But due to the predator wildlife (coyotes, wolf, cougar), if your dog is a “runner” due to no fences except park fence, I would say it is not safe. Small dogs are not safe due to eagles (5.9-7.5 foot wingspan) and owls.
If there are any questions, please contact us. We made this house with our ideas and dreams of what a perfect retreat for us would be and now share it with you. So, if there are suggested items needed please let us know.
We hope your stay is a wonderful and blissful experience filled with great memories!
Enjoy life- Britt and Mike

Our nearest neighbors are 4 acres away through the woods. The East Rim Trailhead is 140 feet away from the property and the East Rim Trail is 10 miles in total length. Depending on which trail you take, these hikes can be mild to strenuous with durations of 1/2 hour to 6 hours plus. East Rim Trail links with Weeping Rock , Cable Mountain, Deertrap Mountain, Hidden Canyon and Observation Point. Elevation change down into the canyon is roughly 2,150 feet.
The plateau we are on is over 6,500 feet vs 4,000 feet on the park floor, which means while Springdale is 98 F/36 C degrees, you are at 85 F/29 C degrees at the A-frame (9-13 degree difference). It can be cool in the evening and during the summer warm to hot usually during the daytime hours of (PHONE NUMBER HIDDEN). The upper areas of the park are part of large plateaus and are less shielded from breezes so wind-chill is something to take into consideration. Late summer/early fall (July to October) has afternoon showers that last an hour or so.

This was by far our favorite Airbnb we've stayed at and we are regular customers. The A-Frame is so cool, off the grid, cozy, and a perfect home-base for Zion. We woke up every day to the sounds of Utah nature, made oatmeal and coffee (supplied by Britt), and walked to the nearby trailheads for our hikes. Every night we made dinner on the grill, smores over the fire (again, provided by Britt), drank wine, and stargazed over the Zion night sky. Can't recommend this place highly enough. If you like staying in a unique off the grid green cabin close to incredible hikes, you should stay here. Thanks Britt and Mike! We'll be back.

Warren2016-09-12T00:00:00Z

Great little A-frame. Just as described. Lovely location in the mountains of Utah. It's almost like camping but without needing to bring anything on your own. We had some bad luck with the rain, so we had a tough time getting a fire started, but the tiki torches were a fun addition. Stars are beautiful at night!

Natalie2016-10-27T00:00:00Z

Such a wonderful place to stay while enjoying Zion. I was slightly nervous about the wildlife but there were no issues and we enjoyed some cute visitors (squirrels, birds, turkeys and deer). Thanks for a memorable experience!

Madison 2017-07-14T00:00:00Z

Definitely recommend. The amenities are great. So well thought out of activities. A nice escape from reality. Would love to stay again

Natalie2017-06-19T00:00:00Z

Our stay at the A frame was wonderful. We had all the comforts of an apartment while being out in nature. The bed was very comfortable and everything was easy to find and use with the clever explanations Britt and Michael left us. We were able to see wild turkeys and deer which was awesome!

Katelin2017-08-18T00:00:00Z

Easily my newest favorite place in the world! Just as lovely as the pictures, maybe even better. It is rustic, of course, you're in Zion and there's bugs and critters, but the owners provide every creature comfort you could need in the A-frame. Arrive before dark and ENJOY! You will love it!

Come visit our 5 acre property backing up to Zion National Park! The cabin is located by the Zion Ponderosa Ranch and is 13 minutes from the East entrance to the park. The trail-heads to Cable Mountain and the East Rim Trail are out our front door!

Surrounded by towering Ponderosa Pines, privacy and quiet will be you new best friends! The full length of the 5 acre lot back up to Zion Nation Park! The cabin is rustic, but has a flushing toilet with running water from a gravity fed system. The water is from a well that is potable. It is necessary, however, to filter this water before drinking as it is stored in a cistern. We have provided a Britta filter pitcher to use. There is power to the cabin and a 32 inch HDTV with a Blu-Ray player for you to watch movies on. We keep the TV stuff stored in the bedroom closet as most guests don't end up using it! you can also bring a mobile Dish or Direct TV setup to use. We get cell service as well (ATT for sure!). If it gets cold, there are 2 electric radiant heaters that are overkill for the space, or a wood burning stove that will sweat you out no problem! If you are hot, we have a window air conditioning unit that we put up in the warmer months. 1 queen bed and 1 pullout couch will comfortably sleep 4, with just enough room for another air mattress if you want to try squeezing in more. All space included, you have all of 500 square feet to explore! We just redid the flooring and the cabin now has a nice wood laminate floor. The kitchen is stocked with most dishes and cooking pots, pans, and utensils. You will also have use of a full sized refrigerator, oven, and microwave. The shower in the bathroom works, but is on the small side! If you need more space (and water pressure!), there are hot showers available about a mile up the road at Zion Ponderosa Ranch. They cost a small amount to use, but we cover it for our guests. They also offer a variety of entertaining activities, including a very nice pool! You can also eat at the ranch at for a reasonable price. There is nowhere closer to the Cable Mountain/East Rim Trail-head than here! It is a short walk from the front door! If you are planning on hiking the full Narrows, this is on the way to the top! We are also very close the Englestead Canyon drop in rappel point and many other hikes and activities!

The cabin is located in a remote quiet area, but is only 13 minutes to the East entrance to Zion National Park, and about 15-20 minutes to Mt. Caramel Junction and Orderville. If you want to go to Kanab, it's around 30-35 minutes. Lake Powell is 2 hours away. Springdale, on the West side of the park, is 34-45 minutes.

It was exactly as described. Should include more info on the nearby amenities that we enjoyed. Great and peaceful location.

The cabin was perfect, very close to Zion and not too far away for a quick trip to Bryce Canyon. I agree with the other reviews, it has the perfect amount of comfort without unnecessary frills. The water was winterized as Ben has previously warned us about but he provided a lot of extra water to circumvent that. Learning to flush a toilet with external water was a new skill to us and washing dishes was a little challenging but besides that it was fine. The cabin was very warm once you get the fire going and fit 4 people comfortably. Ben was an excellent host, and provided clear instructions on how to find the place. I would definitely stay here again on my next Zion trip.

Remington2016-01-05T00:00:00Z

We had a great time at Ben's cabin! It was a perfect base for exploring Zion and a great spot to relax after a long day hiking. A great place to savour the quiet of the woods, and you can even access some trails just a short walk down the road. Everything was very clean, and the wood stove was much appreciated on the chilly evenings. The shower was rustic, as promised, but it got the job done. Highly recommend it!

PJ2016-05-25T00:00:00Z

Ben's cabin was great, very comfortable and convenient. We used the kitchen facilities and found cooling to be sufficient in the summer heat. We used the showers down the road at the ranch which was easy to find and a very simple process. Would definitely recommend Ben's listing!

Grace2016-07-14T00:00:00Z

Our stay here was great! It was cozy and just the right location for going to Zion and exploring the park. Like the other reviews the water may not always be hot or the right pressure, so we used the $5 showers down the road. The cabin was mostly clean except some of the dishes had specs of food on them, I guess from the previous stay. But we used almost all of the appliances available and they worked just fine. Overall our stay here was just what we needed.

Julia2016-07-26T00:00:00Z

Ben provided good directions and instructions

Patrick2016-09-12T00:00:00Z

Bens cabin was super. He sent us very detailed descriptions how to get there beforehand. we are sorry we couldn't stay there longer

Our cabin is located on Zion Ponderosa Resort (Zion Ponderosa Ranch) property right on the Zion National Park fence line. Come enjoy the peaceful serenity of our 2 acre property filled with Ponderosa Pine, junipers and a variety of other plant and animal life. This Zion home is perfect for accommodating up to 6 guests on vacation. Come enjoy Zion seclusion while still being close to Zion National Park, Grand Canyon, Bryce and Zion Ponderosa Ranch resort amenities!

RELAX AND BASK IN THE SOLITUDE of Zion National Park…
We are located on the east border of Zion. Venture into the back-country of Zion park right from the cabin's backyard or you’re just 15 minutes from the east gate entrance by car. Zion National Park's Observation Point and/or Cable Mountain trail heads are just minutes away. Our Zion Cabin property is part of an award winning 4,000 acre Zion Ponderosa Ranch resort loaded with amenities.
The East Rim Trailhead is 5 minutes walking distance away from the property and the East Rim Trail is 10 miles in total length. Depending on which trail you take, these hikes can be mild to strenuous with durations of 1/2 hour to 6 hours plus. East Rim Trail links with Weeping Rock, Cable Mountain, Deertrap Mountain, Echo Canyon, Hidden Canyon and Observation Point. Orderville Canyon and Zion Narrows trailheads are 20 and 40 minutes away. Elevation change down into the canyon is roughly 2,150 feet. We're conveniently located to walk out into Zion rather than hike up from the bottom. Guests have been known to walk down into the Zion Canyon floor area (weeping rock, lower Zion Narrows, etc.) then catch a free park shuttle before taking pre-arranged transportation back to the cabin.
The mountains plateau we are on is over 6,500 feet vs 4,000 feet on the park floor, which means while Springdale is 98 F/36 C degrees, you are at 85 F/29 C degrees at the cabin (9-13 degree difference). It can be cool in the evening and during the summer warm to hot usually during the daytime hours. It's always refreshing to step inside the air conditioned cabin after a day hiking. Late summer/early fall (July to October) has afternoon showers that last an hour or so.

Such a special place to stay. The cabin was everything we wanted in a vacation home. So quiet and peaceful in the forest but close enough to enjoy the amenities of the Ponderosa resort. It was clean and very well equipped with everything you need. The direct TV was great and a huge selection of DVD's kept us busy. Comfortable beds, air conditioning, fire pit to make s"mores and more. We will definitely be back. Jim's son Nick was very welcoming and communicated quickly when we had questions. We highly recommend the cabin for your next trip to Zion and Utah. Thanks Jim and Nick!

Claire2017-08-04T00:00:00Z

Amazing house with a backyard that's right up against Zion national park. Awesome custom furniture, totally clean, hosts are amazing. Won't go wrong with choosing this place!

Erik2017-07-25T00:00:00Z

This lovely cabin is highly recommended. The property in the middle of the woods guarantees silence, cosyness and peace. An added value is its nearness to Ponderosa Ranch Resort, especially when you have kids enjoying the pool. The scenic view at east entrance of Zion Park is amazing, so some extra miles to reach the free shuttle is worth it. The hosts get 10/10 for communication.

danielle2017-08-17T00:00:00Z

This is such a cute cabin, decor is beautiful, very clean and very well stocked with necessities.

Edel2017-08-11T00:00:00Z

We highly recommend staying at this cozy, charming and clean cabin. Our first night we enjoyed star gazing on the front deck. The location is very convenient to Zion. I wish we could have stayed longer. Jim was very quick to respond and made our first Airbnb experience amazing. Hope to go back someday!

Great place to stay!! Very clean, very cool, very secluded! Very much recomended

After a long day of driving and traveling with a newborn, arriving after dark was a little tricky. Shawn was very attentive and helpful with arrival, however cell reception is limited at the cabin and the surrounding areas, so when we needed help navigating, we weren't able to connect. The directions to the cabin are straight forward, but one wrong turn in the dark on the dirt road can get one pretty turned around. Once we finally arrived Shawn was there to welcome us and acquaint us with the cabin. She had the heat fired up so we were able to settle in without skipping a beat. The description of the cabin is spot on. It's charming, comfortable, and nestled in an incredible wilderness setting that's got enough access to trails around Zion, you almost don't even need to enter the park. We hiked Cable Mountain (the trailhead is walking distance from the cabin), and Observation Point (a short drive from the cabin), and both provided stunning views of the canyon, as well as quiet, beautiful landscape along the way. I wish I had more to say about the magic of the cabin, but we were humbled as new parents trying to enjoy the things we enjoyed before the arrival of our little one, so much of our short stay was just trying to get through it (and take in the magic of the wild as best we could). ;) All in all I would strongly endorse a visit!

The cabin sits just outside Zion and is wonderfully quiet and secluded. The cabin is cozy and well appointed and maintained. The decor was great and at night, sitting on the porch gazing at the stars couldn't be beat. I slept well and enjoyed my stay, only wish I could have stayed longer. Shawn was very helpful and was patient when I arrived later than expected, in the dark. She talked me in for a landing :) and made herself available for any questions. Great accompaniment to the natural beauty and experience of Zion!

Well maintained CLEAN 30 ft 5th wheel camper/trailer located 300 ft from Zion National park fence and 1 1/2 miles from Zion Ponderosa Ranch Resort. Surrounded by beautiful Ponderosa Pines...this is your home away from home! If you want to be away from the crowds and experience glamping outdoors in a peaceful and tranquil setting, but still close to ALL the National Parks...THIS IS YOUR PLACE!!!

This is a great place for hiking, star gazing, sitting around the campfire(we provide the wood) eating smores, roasting hot dogs, cooking on the grill or just plain resting & relaxing in the hammock. Generator, solar and battery power provided, hot water, fridge, 3 burner stove, microwave, heater, toilet, shower(small) and TV with lots of movies and a covered picnic table. Plenty of extra space for extra guests who would like to camp in a tent! Camp hosts are close by to help with your needs.
The Observation Lookout, Englestead Hollow and Cable Mtn hikes are within a mile of the campsite. Private hike into ZNP within a 1/4 mile. Perfect central location for Zion National Park, Bryce Canyon National Park and Grand Canyon National Park.

No neighbors to speak of. Our 5th wheel trailer is located onsite but other that that the campsite is fairly secluded.
The Zion Ponderosa Ranch Resort is located within 2 miles of the campsite. The Resort has showers, hot tub and swimming pool access for $10 per person. Other activities such as ATV and horseback riding, zipline, miniature golf, tennis courts, paintball, guided rappelling and much more. The is also a restaurant and gift shop located at the lodge.

Ponderosa Paradise was a pleasant surprise. The trailer is on a beautiful, quiet camp site right outside Zion with access to a restaurant, lodge and amenities not far away and a short drive into Zion. Our party was 2 adults and 2 teenagers and there was plenty of space. We also really enjoyed a night of s'mores by the camp fire. Karen + Jim are incredibly hospitable hosts. We loved it!

A great place at the ... end of the road. Very accommodating hosts. Very quiet and relaxing. Had a nice campfire and outdoor meals under the canopy. Slept in the hammock under the trees. Convenient to Zion. A few mi of pavement and couple of hard pack road to get there. All the comforts of home including electricity (you might have to run the generator), hot water (not quite as much as at the Ritz :-)), and even cell service. Cozy and comfortable!

Dave2017-09-01T00:00:00Z

Quiet and convenient. Karen was very informative and had great communication.

Karen and her AWESOME husband went out of their way to make sure we were accommodated...from driving to wifi to communicate with us, to granting our wish for sugar, to offering us advice on where to visit and stay!!! :) I really appreciate these two...they felt like family.

KL2017-06-17T00:00:00Z

Thank you for being great hosts. Basic amenities were as described. Very cozy and comfortable. Loved the firepit for the kiddos. Outdoor area was a plus.

Alice2017-07-07T00:00:00Z

Karen's trailer is tucked away on the east side of Zion's park entrance but directions were very easy to follow. Communication with Karen was very easy and quick. The trailer had everything you need, much better than staying at a hotel. And everything worked perfectly! We loved the camp site and we even had a chance to relax in the hammock in the cool evening. We came in really late and although we didn't get to see Karen that night, all the directions for the whole trailer was there and easy to follow as this was our first time staying at a trailer. Thank you Karen for all your accommodation, we would definitely stay at Ponderosa Paradise again!

Our home is located on Zion Ponderosa Resort property, just 8 miles from the east entrance of Zion National Park. Come enjoy the peaceful serenity of our 3 acre property filled with Ponderosa Pines. Hikes like Observation Point (favorite), Cable mountain and others are just minutes from our home. Our home is perfect for accommodating a family or two out on summer vacation, but cozy enough for a couples weekend. Come enjoy seclusion while still being close to Zion, Bryce, and resort amenities!

Our beautiful 3 bedroom 2 bathroom home is set back on a 3 acre wooded lot. It is 1.7 miles inside the Zion Ponderosa Resort property, which is bordering the east boundary of Zion National Park. We are 8 miles from the east entrance of Zion. The lot is peaceful and quiet, the only usual noise is the swaying of the towering Ponderosa Pines. The home is perfect for a cozy get away for a couple, or a larger family looking to experience Zion, Bryce, and Zion Ponderosa Resort.
Bedroom 1 is upstairs and has a queen bed with an on suite bathroom and walk in closet, sleeps 2. The closet is actually quite large and is usual where my wife and I set up a pack and play for our little ones, we provide a pack and play stored in this closet. Bedroom 2 is downstairs and has a queen bed with a closet, sleeps 2. Bedroom 3 is downstairs and has two bunk beds, both twin over full, also with a regular closet, sleeps up to 6. Bathroom 1 is located in the upstairs bedroom. Bathroom 2 is shared by the two downstairs bedrooms. Extra pillows and blankets are in each of the closets for the pull out couches.
The kitchen is fully equipped with all cooking needs including fridge, stove, oven, water dispenser, pots, pans, cups, plates, utensils, crock pot, coffee maker, toaster, griddle, outside grill. The living room downstairs has a large sectional which has a pull out couch in it. There is a ottoman that has extra blankets, a 42" tv, dvd player, and a real wood burning fire place. The upstairs loft has two sofas, the sofa against the wood wall is a pull out couch. There is also a second 42" tv, and dvd player.
Outside there is a full length front porch and back porch. Two large pick nick tables are out on the back deck for you to enjoy meals outside. There is a propane grill out on the back porch for your use. An outside fire pit is located on the west end of the house where you can roast smore's and and enjoy the beautiful night sky. The large surrounding Ponderosa pines provide shadowing for most of the property and house throughout majority of the day. Because of the shade provided, 6500 ft elevation, as well as fans all throughout the house the house stays nice and cool even in the summer. If cooler temperatures are desired in the house we have provided three A/C units that can be turned on. There is one in each of bedrooms 1 and 2 and also one for the common areas of the house. Also cracking a window and turning on the fans will cool it quickly in the evening. . In addition to the wood burning fire place there is also a furnace that will warm through the whole house. We have stayed in our cabin during both cold seasons and hot and have never had a problem with being too cold or hot.
There is also a washer, but no dryer, just a clothes line to hang dry in the back yard. There are coin operated washer and dryer facilities available at Zion Ponderosa if needed. Everything is fully furnished for the house!

You will see very few people when at the house, which you will LOVE after spending a day in the busy park. Close by is Zion Ponderosa Resort that provides you with options of resort amenities, while still being able to retreat to privacy and serenity. Those you do see are likely traveling to explore the hidden gems of Observation Point (top out rather than bottom up), and Cable Mountain hikes. Either of these hikes will allow you to spend your day hiking seeing very few people, while providing an ending of what some consider the most spectacular view of Zion.
It will take about 13 minutes to travel the 8 miles to the east entrance of the park. Depending on time of year and traffic, it will take about 35 minutes to get to the west end of Zion where the visitor center is. Bryce Canyon is about 1.5 hr drive, Grand Canyon 2.5 hr drive, Lake Powell 1.5 hr drive, Coral Pink Sand Dunes 45 min drive.

The cabin is awesome ,well decorated and very clean. About the location it was kind of difficult to get to but Jake was more than willing to meet us and guide us to his property. I would definitely recommend this to anyone who is looking for some peace and quiet.

Hugo2017-03-19T00:00:00Z

Jake's place is great. The location is a bit off the beaten path but scenic and quiet if you'd rather not stay in Springdale. Home was well appointed, and comfortable for our group. It was a good value too!

nancy2017-05-17T00:00:00Z

Jake's place is very secluded. It was nice to get away from the crowds after a long day at Zion. Although it is a drive to the well-known hikes in Zion (45 min approx), we didn't mind it. We used this home as a base, traveling to Zion, Bryce, and North Rim Grand Canyon from the house ( I don't like to pack/unpack my suitcase often on trips!). The house is well equipped with shampoo, ketchup, mustard, PB, etc. It has a grill which we used often. Our boys loved the hammocks, too! It is about 5 min from the Ponderosa Ranch, where we went swimming/hot tubbing (for free). Jake was helpful, giving us recommendations for hikes, etc. I highly recommend this place.

Jake's house is very clean with nice linens and clean appliances. It's remote location outside the East entrance of the Zion is a little far (30+ minutes to the shuttle area) and we didn't realize this exactly when booking (not Jake's fault). You have to go back through the line of cars at the ranger station to get back into the park every time. This could be a pain in the high season. However there are some nice hikes that begin near his house that go into the park so if you're game (and fit) you don't even need to drive! Finding the house after dark is a little tricky. Follow Jake's directions! Cell phone use is spotty at best and is of no help (we have Verizon). Certain parts of the house (2nd floor) have better data reception than others. The addition of wi-fi would be a real plus but I'm not sure that is a possibility in this remote area. Lots of good restaurant recommendations and information in the very thorough binder that Jake has in the house. Lots of board games for kids to play as well. Overall a beautiful location and house!

Maura2017-04-11T00:00:00Z

It felt really awesome to stay in a place that feels so much like a loving home already! You created a wonderful environment for memories, we had a really good time just hanging out in and around the cabin. The area is rich in activities and sights to enjoy and your cabin provided a reasonably priced space to partake in that. Thank you for the wonderful experience!

Welcome to Johnson Ranch, next to famous Zion Ponderosa Ranch, and within walking/hiking distance to Zion National Park with the most photographed wonders in the world. You will have your own Recreational Vehicle with all the comforts of home, yet living amidst pines where you might see deer, squirrels, and wild turkeys.

You will find your stay in this peaceful part of nature a delightful change from the city. We are in the trees and away from everything, where the stars and constellations fill the glorious sky at night, and the smell of fresh pine trees is in the air. You might see deer, squirrels, chipmunks, and wild turkeys.
We are next to the border of Zion National Park, Zion National Park with the most photographed wonders in the world. But there are many great places to see here without going through the park official entrance, such as famous Overlook Point.

Keith was a very nice host, he waited for us although we were a bit late (future travelers: be aware that there is a one hour shift between Nevada/California and Utah!) and he provides everything you might need in the van (water, blankets ...). The place is very nice, a bit far from everything and thus very quiet. You can join the departure of a trail to Observation Point after a few miles on dust roads. Globally, a very nice experience, I definitely recommand it!

Johanna2017-07-24T00:00:00Z

Great spot in a secluded area not too far from Zion. There was some malfunction with the communication tower on the property but there was a resort down the road that you could pick up wifi from. Keith was there to welcome us, and is a friendly guy. Overall had a great stay

daniel2017-08-06T00:00:00Z

Keith's place is perfect for visiting Zion. It is close to nature and you can have a completely relaxing vacation away from city life. Keith himself is an excellent host and was always there even for small needs. His brother in law took my son on an ATV ride which was really great experience for him. They will treat you like family. I will love to return.

Sweta2017-05-29T00:00:00Z

I cannot believe the host would charge us for a late fee after I told him that we would get to his place at a later time. we landed in utah at 4pm. check in was 1pm. it was a 5 hour drive from salt lake city airport.. To make matter worst, cars were sold out at the airport including the off airport sites because of the solar eclipse fiasco. luckily we got one which was half an hour from the airport. that would have ruined our trip if we didn't get a car.. No wifi nor cell signal in this place. Orderville is still half an hour from zion national park. if you're planning to hike in zion, i suggest stay in springdale, not only its close to zion national park but it's also convenient because there are shuttles in the springdale that takes you to the visiting center and just hop on to zion line shuttle to get to angels landing, temple of shiniwaza etc. if you're planning to see the canyon overlook trailhead, just drive there, it's close from the junction. overall, disappointed with the stay. have i known better i would have stayed in springdale because of convenience to get to zion..

Rouel2017-08-22T00:00:00Z

Keith is a great host! Good location too.

Ryo2017-06-18T00:00:00Z

Our place is 400 ft from Zion National Park boundary. We have 3 amazing trailheads accessible from our "Deadwood". Observation Point being the most hiked, as well as Cable Mountain and Deer Trap. We are know for our serene environment and BRILLIANT stars. Come be surrounded by nature

We are very rural and have our own unique trails. We are know for the peacefulness, and being off the beaten path. Listen to the coyotes howl on a full moon night. Wake up quietly and look out the Windows...you may see deer..Our stars are so bright you'll have to wear shades. Please treat our land better than you would your own.

Connie's camper worked great for us. We Visited Bryce and then drove to the east side of Zion where the camper is located just outside the park. The camper is about .3 of a mile from an alternative trailhead to Observation Point which is one of the top hikes in Zion. I would stay again because of the location. Also, Connie was very accommodating and clear with communication.

Anthony2016-08-30T00:00:00Z

Our stay was thoroughly enjoyable. A wonderful location and very charming. Host was very accessible and provided a wonderful experience unmatched by a hotel.

Rob2016-09-14T00:00:00Z

Connie is really helpful in all the ways she could be. And the RV we stayed was beyond expectation, newly furnished and quite warm with the help of the little heater. Great place for star gazing and nicely located near Zion park and other attractions. I would recommend it to other friends for sure.

Yuming2016-10-04T00:00:00Z

Connie and Rodney were wonderful hosts. They were very welcoming and shared tips for exploring the area, including an awesome hike to Observation Point from their property. The camper was absolutely perfect for my stay...plenty of space in a beautiful spot away from the crowds at the park. I look forward to staying here again during my next trip to Zion. :)

Ashley2017-04-08T00:00:00Z

Located up against Zion National Park boundaries, there are plenty of nearby adventures & wildlife. Zion Shanty is a 1 acre forested property with a 400-sq. ft. park model that can sleep up to 8 adults. It has electricity, bathroom & kitchen with hot water, shower & flushing toilet, A/C & heater, refrigerator, microwave, oven, range top, & much more. Relax on our 300-sq. ft. deck with a BBQ Grill, & a fire pit. For more details, please click on the the photo gallery and read the descriptions.

The lodging accommodates up to 8 people, the lot is a 1 acre forested property that can accommodate up to 8 vehicles.
The Master bedroom has a Queen size bed. The living room has a Double sized hide-a-bed couch. And the back bedroom has the Quad Bunk Beds, which can sleep 4 people. Each of the bunk bed mattresses are a standard Twin size mattress measuring at 38" x 75" or (3.17 foot wide by 6.25 foot long).
To see the floorplan and our website which has additional details, please look at the picture descriptions.
There is NO WiFi at Zion Shanty. Depending on your network data you may be able to get 1x to 3G at the property. There is a TV with a DVD player so we do recommend bringing your favorite movies to watch.
Zion Shanty is within driving distance to 3 National Parks:
*Zion Shanty is on the east side of Zion National Park. Zion, Bryce & North Rim Grand Canyon are all within driving distance from Zion Shanty and each can be done as a "day trip". To us, a day trip is driving through the Park (riding the Zion Shuttle), stopping at the visitor center, grabbing some lunch, taking a small 2 mile hike, taking lots of pictures, then heading home. Plan on at least a day trip for each National Park (i.e. 1 full day at each National Park if you are doing all three); trying to do 2 Parks in one day would be hard because of driving time. While day trips are the quick way to see the Parks, you could spend days seeing and experiencing everything and it is well worth it. We recommend giving yourself plenty of time to enjoy each Park.
Mileage From Zion Shanty:
*Zion East Entrance- 8 miles, 20 minutes drive time
Springdale- 20 miles, 40 minutes drive time
Mt.Carmel Junction- 25 miles, 45 minutes drive time
Coral Pink Sand Dunes- 34 miles, 50 minute drive time
Kanab- 35 miles, 55 minutes
Duck Creek Village- 50 miles, 1 hour 14 minutes drive time
St George- 64 miles, 1 hour 39 minutes drive time
*Bryce Canyon- 77 miles, 1 hour 50 minute drive time
Grand Staircase- 80 miles, 1 hour 50 minutes drive time
*North Rim Grand Canyon- 103 miles, 2 hours 14 minutes drive time
Las Vegas- 183 miles, 3 hours 30 minute drive time
Salt Lake City- 311 miles, 5 hours 30 minutes drive time

There is no fence around the property. While there is good space between Zion Shanty and our neighbors, you can still see neighboring dwellings. Our neighbors are super friendly but they do enjoy their privacy. We ask that you respect the posted property boundaries and do not trespass. Also, the forest is very quiet and sound travels very well so please be respectful of the 10pm noise ordinance.

The Shanty is the perfect place to come back to after a long day of hiking Zion! Emily has thought of everything and it really helps to know that you don't need to bring a bunch of unnecessary items when packing up a car. While the Shanty is pretty close to the East entrance of the park, it takes about an hour to get to the visitor center to park for the shuttles. This was fine with us as we enjoyed being able to drive through the park and tunnels each day. If you want to cook your own food, have everything you need at your fingertips, sit out under the stars, and have the privacy of a secluded spot, Zion Shanty is for you!

Outstanding location. Great view and and a quietness out of this world.

Steffen2017-07-17T00:00:00Z

The Zion shanty was perfect for what my group needed to enjoy the sights of Zion National Park. We would pack out early, hike, then come back and unwind on the deck and enjoy the view. Even with 7-8 people we had room and it created an intimate environment. The lack of cell phone service was a blessing, As we all stayed around the fire at night, and engaged with the environment around us. Highly recommend if someone is wanting to see Zion National Park the right way

Colby2017-06-11T00:00:00Z

The Zion Shanty is really deep into the woods. Although my family and I freaked out a bit about there being no cell service, we quickly realized that it was a blessing. Should there be any emergencies your phone will still dial out to police, which I didn't know until we read Emily's nice little welcome folder. Besides, if you must, you can drive down to the Zion Ponderosa Lodge (five minutes down) and use their open wifi. The darkness at night was really beautiful, remember to look up at the bright stars.Emily is kind; Although, I couldn't receive any messages while at the shanty she still tried to communicate through email, which I appreciated. Pretty much everything you need is there, cooking utensils, extra blankets, etc . Not to mention the eggs and other foods that Emily provided. (Thank you!) Overall, the Zion Shanty was great. Be prepared to get immersed in total wilderness during your stay. PS. The hand drawn map she provides to you in the welcome letter is crucial! Print it, study it, and keep it with you.

Clean, cozy Trailer located amidst huge Ponderosa Pine Trees! Once you arrive you are 200 yards from the Park Boundary! And we are just 8 miles from the East Entrance of the Park by car. Once you're all settled in, in addition to the park boundary you have Observation Point (3 miles) , Jolly Gulch (1 Mile) and many other trails within 5 miles! No permits needed and none of the parking hassles! Come and enjoy magnificent stars and amazing views!

People who love to camp and enjoy nature ALMOST off the grid! There is Power for lights, Tv with DVD player, and a refrigerator. There is a cold water shower inside the trailer and an outdoor BBQ grill for cooking! Hot showers are available just 1/4 mile away! Cell service is spotty!

Located adjacent to the Zion Ponderosa Ranch. Amenities you can pay for at the Ranch include Zip line, Horse back rides, ATV rides, UTV Rentals Swimming Pool and Hot Tub. The Ranch also has a Restaurant!

Cindi and her husband (I'm terrible with names) were very friendly and accommodating. I had a list of several questions before booking and before the stay, which Cindi always answered very quickly. They were very flexible with our arrival time, which was greatly appreciated. Cindi even went out of her way to greet us and make sure we found the place okay. The location of the RV is a 15 minute drive from the East park entrance. Note that the visitor center and shuttle buses are at the West entrance and are about a 45 minute drive, more if you have to wait at the tunnel. There's supposedly a hiking trail in the park that is only a 15 minute walk away from the RV which we had intentions of using but never did The unit is up a mountain and is very remote from civilization. Very quiet and serene, tons of star gazing. Unfortunately that does mean no cellular reception, which can be hard to get accustomed to and which we were not completely prepared for. The RV itself is very small but was very clean. The bed was on the firm side (which our backs appreciated) and very comfortable. It was lacking in some basic amenities (coffee maker, cups, toiletries) which seems like an easy fix. It did have a microwave and grill and a decent sized refrigerator and freezer. A small space heater was available as well which we definitely needed as it got cold at night. We could have used another one as well. The biggest issue we had was water - the unit uses a water pump and we had a limited amount. The pump makes an irritating noise when running. The water heater is propane which we supplied, but was inconvenient to turn on and off with each use. We ended up using the showers at the nearby resort, which was an experience and put a damper on our relaxation after we had been hiking all day. Disclaimer: this was our first RV stay so maybe we were expecting too much. The RV is a 3 minute drive from the resort, where we would go daily for a cup of coffee. They have a restaurant and several good beers available which is a nice touch! We paid a $5 fee per person one day for access to the pool and jacuzzi, which was much needed after 3 long days of hiking and driving.

Brian2017-05-15T00:00:00Z

First of all...Cynthia and her husband are some of the most amazing, friendly people! Cynthia met us at the site and showed us everything we would need to know about the 'RV life'. It was a very cold night so brought us an extra heater to make sure we'd be comfortable, then she and her husband even started us an amazing camp fire so we could stay warm while star gazing. The RV its self was PERFECT for us, but BE SURE to read her description, it is spot on. The sleeping quarters were very comfortable and she supplied everything you might need for a "glamping" night in a national park. The area is gorgeous and she is very knowledgeable of nearby hikes. We spent the day in the park and didn't get to her place until 6:30 but she suggested a perfect sunset hike! We were able to see iconic sights from a different AND MUCH LESS CROWDED hike, it was amazing! One of my biggest concerns with traveling is the safety, but staying at Cynthia's was like staying at your favorite aunt's house! She and her husband made us feel so welcome, they made sure we knew how to reach them if we needed anything at all, and then they slipped away leaving us to have a girls trip! I will certainly be staying here again for my next adventure out west!

Danielle2017-05-19T00:00:00Z

Wonderfully place very clean and so quiet !

carole2017-06-19T00:00:00Z

We really enjoyed staying at Cynthia's place, it was very peaceful and relaxing and rustic. Great communication from host. Views not exciting but higher elevation meant it was cooler than valley floor and much more private and peaceful, and we enjoyed seeing the wild turkeys, jack rabbits and deer nearby. We used it as a base camp for Zion and Bryce parks over Memorial holiday week & were happy to find it before our trip since Springdale hotels & park campgrounds were all booked up. Located east of Zion park, be prepared for a 30 minute or so drive to get to it once you exit the park, as road is winding and turns to dirt with some ruts. Bed was very comfortable, location quiet, easy access to the resort a couple miles away with its restaurant, hot showers (though on the 95 degree days I opted for the trailer's cold shower!) and open wifi (there is no cell service at the trailer or through most of Zion park). That resort also offers recreation opportunities. You can pay for horse rides, zip lines, mini golf, etc. We purchased food in Springdale (Sol Foods, it had some great prepared foods) and found the coffee maker & coffee supplies, microwave, and fridge very handy. There is also a BBQ. Space heater kept us warm on chilly mornings, didn't need it overnight as bed was cozy with quilts. I absolutely loved the East Mesa Trail to Observation Point hike which is super close to the trailer, just a few minutes drive down the dirt road. It's pretty level and 3.2 miles (one way) and leads to a spectacular view - without the 2100 ft elevation gain that you would need to do from the valley floor! Thank you, Cynthia!

This was a great experience. The kitchen and bathrooms were all fully stocked. I was worried about the proximity of the house to Zion's since it is located on the east side of the park. There is no need to worry. IT's very close and you get to see a lot of big horn desert sheep through the park to the house since their habitat is on the east side. We had a lot of questions prior to our trip and Steve always responded right away. There is a propane BBQ, and awesome spa. The only negative thing I would say is that there are not enough pictures posted on the site to see how nice the home, and amenities are. I recommend to anyone.

The house was even more beautiful than we expected. The house sleeps 10 comfortably, but could probably fit more if necessary. Everything was clean and Steve was extremely responsive and flexible when we requested a late checkout. Location is great - beautiful, quiet, and near Zion. Highly recommend!

The home is beautiful. The pictures are completely accurate. We had 9 people and there was plenty of room for everyone. If you are planning to spend a lot of time in Zion, the location is excellent. Steve was very responsive as there was an issue with the water heater, but he made sure it was fixed in a very reasonable amount of time. I would recommend this home to anyone visiting Zion.

Absolutely LOVELY home! In a residential neighborhood, but quite secluded and very quiet :) Wonderful communication and super easy check in! This home is exactly as described and was equipped with everything we needed! Highly reccommend for families and larger groups. :)))))

We chose Rabbit Junction as the home base for our annual guys trip to Zion National Park. This was my first Airbnb rental, and it was an amazing experience. We rented this cabin for Memorial weekend and took advantage of the rent three nights get the fourth free offer. Steve sent us a very detailed message covering check-in/check-out, directions, local attractions, and other information we found very useful for the trip. The cabin is beautiful and very well appointed. Lots of dishes, ample cookware, all the essential appliances, plenty of furniture inside and out. We only had seven, but this cabin is big enough to accommodate many more. The cabin is a good 45 minutes from the Visitors Center in Zion where we had to park to take the shuttle to the various trailheads, taking into consideration the line that forms at the guard shack and the one way traffic through the tunnel during a busy weekend like Memorial. The hot tub was a welcome addition after hiking and mountain biking. Make sure and get your food before you get here because this cabin is in the boonies. Overall, awesome time, awesome host, would highly recommend as a base cabin for Zion Adventuring.

Great, comfortable, luxurious home. Impressed with the well equipped kitchen (had blender, slow cooker, coffee pot, etc.). Comfortably accommodated ten people; it could have fit more, but it would have been tighter. About a 15-minute drive from the eastern entrance to the park, and another 20-or-so minutes to the visitor's center.

Get away from it all at my high desert home. Located in gated community within the Zion Ponderosa Resort. You have access to all resort facilities including the extensive pool complex. House located on 1.5 acres with total privacy.

High Desert Home with all amenities. Home will be supplied with all needed linens and toiletries. Incredibly quiet and restful. Fully stocked kitchen if you want to cook.
At East entrance to Zion National Park. Located at appx. 6500ft elevation.

Gated community of high-end vacation houses. Springdale and restaurants is a 20-30 minute drive thru the Park! Bryce Canyon is 1:15 min drive. Grand Canyon is 2 hours away. Kanab is 45 minutes. MULTIPLE Utah State Parks that must be seen located from 15mins to an hour away. This is a hikers paradise.

John is a real pleasure! This was my second time staying at his beautiful property and I would return again. He checked in with me a few times prior to the trip to make sure I had all the information I needed - directions, his phone number, information about the park and resort. He is really helpful. The property area is absolutely lovely and it was great to see the wildlife (deer, jackrabbits) during the winter months. I will be returning again for sure!

John was very responsive and easy to get a hold of. Directions were spot on. The house is located about 15 minutes away from the east entrance to Zion. Located within a private gated community with about 1-2 acre lots. Abundant tress so you don't notice your neighbors. Lots of wild life roaming around. We saw deer, chipmunks, and turkeys. Very clean and unkept. Modern appliances with propane grill. Hot tub out back that allows you to relax and star gaze at night. 3 bedrooms all with full bathrooms. Internet worked well. Not sure about the TVs because we never turned em on. If I was to return to Zion I would definitely stay here again!

The house was fantastic, and the setting wonderful! Very nicely supplied with everything we needed, while still maintaining a clean uncluttered feel. The resort facilities were a great bonus. New moon meteor shower stargazing was amazing. Overall, just what we wanted, and would definitely stay again.

John's home was exactly as he described. Just a few minutes outside the East entrance to Zion National Park. The home had everything we needed to spend a comfortable Christmas week- even a Christmas tree, which was a nice touch. Overall, a beautiful home in a quiet area, perfectly situated for exploring Zion. I would stay here again.

This house was gorgeous and a perfect place for a group to stay if you are visiting Bryce Canyon and/or Zion. It is large with a great kitchen, large living room area, and I think it could probably sleep up to 10 if you tried. There is also a nice hot tub outside that is great for 2-4 people. The owner (John) was also very helpful in reaching out to coordinate the stay, providing directions, and even giving us tips of places to go when there.

John's place was comfortable, with an open kitchen, living and dining room. My sisters, their partners and I had a wonderful time there. It was great to relax in the hot tub after a long day in Zion Park; there was a half moon when we were there, and we could still see a lot of stars. John gave us directions to a trail head close by that took us to Observation Point without the precipitous walk from the valley. His instructions and directions were detailed. The resort nearby even had zip lining on Friday evenings, and a restaurant where we got dinner to go. The one downside was that it's at the east entrance to the park, and we had to drive through the park to get to the shuttle stops.

Spectacular custom Zion Cabin. Designed with outdoor lifestyle in mind. Mountainous and unique furnishing for the discriminating guest who desires the finest resort experience. No other cabin in this exclusive gated community has this unique flair. Available to adults only and no pets.

This romantic setting features incredible mountain views and privacy. However, by special request we can accommodate up to four adults with a second bedroom.

We loved their place. They were really gracious hosts and even spent two hours with us on the first day showing us the area. Really lovely people!

Jeff and his wife were wonderful hosts; perfect balance of soft-touch to assure our visit was going smoothly and making sure we could relax. The views from the cabin cannot be beat - it was a great opportunity to disconnect and relax. I'd really urge visitors to take some notes on suggestions for local sights and excursions in the area from Jeff; you'd really be missing out on some gems otherwise. He showed us two local trails going into Zion from the east that were PHENOMENAL - and we were the only people there (rarity for Zion otherwise). Was a great way to celebrate our anniversary - I could not recommend this place enough. The only downside (if I were to be pressed) is the limited cellular service - but the lodge is 2 minutes away with wifi and cell service; but we actually enjoyed the quiet and only checking our messages when we really wanted to.
